Uh... I could give you a dicitonary definition but that wouldn't really help. It's literally something that can't be described. It's why people use physical descriptors to describe art, like music being heavy. Do you understand why Black Sabbath is described as heavy?

In the case of abstract thought it literally can be described.

How would you do so?

Ambient music does wonders in training the mind to increase it's capabilities at grasping dreamlogic when you drift between different states. Or, at the very least, it's done wonders in helping me remember concrete details.

I would say either you are or you aren't... There's no should.

Should the gazelle outrun the lion?

By turning to the dictionary. It's a specific word with a specific meaning. Maybe you're just using it wrong.

Are you accusing lions of being drunkards?

I remember you not liking the idea of post-modernism cause you're offended by the idea of there being no truth or something. I think the idea that there are no concrete narratives to define things is something that you can't grasp because you can't grasp abstract thought and so you lash out to preserve your limited understanding of things.

I mean honestly no matter how smart your understanding of this or that is you still end up sounding like a combination of a grandapa and a scientist who scowls at the idea of subjectivity.

So maybe you're not as mentally capable as you think you are.
